Lol, this thread is always so off track, anyways, I have a quick question, how do you guys choose between trees or a healing salve early game. For 10 gold more you get a wee bit more healing, but you also can't get hit for a short while, on the other hand eating trees can be useful in certain situations too, but the healing is more gradual, less of a potion than salve. So which heroes are salves more useful and which heroes make better use of trees? I always go trees since its a habit, but is that actually bad?

Also, since eating trees in on my mind, how about that quelling blade, any good/who is it best on/ when should it be bought?

eat trees so you can get back to your lane while still healing.
very important in early game

generally trees, but salves are good whenever you expect to either gank or get ganked lots in the early game

quelling blade is great on any melee hero that would otherwise have a hard time last hitting, and needs the farm. Like bs,specter,dk etc
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Wait what? Use trees walking back to the lane after visiting the fountain?

Tangos so you can escape Sprout, zehahahahaha.

Still tangos though, because lots of stuff can end up making that 100 gold near useless. Damn you renegade necromancer. Dispersion and Heartstopper (not sure about Heartstopper), will also remove it. Unless you're crazy aggressive early on, I think tangos are the way to go. They give you extra juking power and stuff. Alternatively, salves can be used on allies quickly (no passing item nonsense), and can be used in the middle of nowhere. Sadly, they require an extra click to click on the target you wanna heal.

And QB on every melee hero. Especially fun sauce on Troll, DK, Sylla, and TB, they can use the melee benefits while ranged. Oshit. BS too, because it synergizes so well with Bloodbath.

Usually 200 worth of regen items should do. Buying a set of each tangos and salve gives you more flexibility. Salve has the plus side of quick generation, just like bottle.

Salves are better vs burst dmg heroes like SF who can deal 400+ dmg but cant kill you unless youre being stupid.

Both. Salves can pretty much determine a lane if you have one and your opponent doesn't. (If you're in a somewhat even matchup, of course)

Do both, 1 set of Tangos + Salve, Salve is there for when your health drops low after they go offensive on you or when you need a quick heal right there and then, Tango is for damage that slowly builds up on you like from harassing, creeps, etc.

surely fast ring of health is the superior choice, regardless of lane and heroes?

Why stop at battlefury when you can get 5 Kunkka's+power treads so you can kill the whole map in one attack.
In DotA you could
